I recently received an advanced copy of the book The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working by Tony Schwartz, which came out earlier this week. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t accept many of these books any more because most of them don’t interest me. What sold me on the book, which was fantastic, was the [...]

I Just Devoured Rework
Last week 37signals released Rework, their awesome new business book. I’ve long been a fan of theirs – I subscribe to their blog, follow David and Jason on Twitter, watch videos of their presentations at conferences, subscribe to their podcast, and have read their self-published web app book Getting Real many times over. I don’t [...]
Boosting and Chunking
A few months ago I received a request to review a new book. For the most part, I’ve stopped accepting books to review, but this one was different. Not only did the author himself email me (as opposed to the typical PR firm), but the topic was actually pretty interesting and something that I haven’t [...]
What Matters Now (or the best free eBook ever)
I’ve had a cold the past few days. I’ve only been able to mentally handle a few hours of work per day. I’ve been spending a lot of time sleeping, reading and watching TV (and by TV I mean a little Hulu, some DVDs, and Sports Center). Lucky for me I’ve been enamored with a [...]
How to Judge Anything You Read
I love to read. Almost every day I read blogs, magazines, and books. Much like Mark Cuban, who claims to read 3 hours per day, I make it a huge priority even on the busiest of days to find some time to read: Most people won’t put in the time to get a knowledge advantage. [...]
Book Review: e-Riches 2.0
A while back I reviewed Internet Riches, Scott Fox’s first book. e-Riches 2.0: Next Generation Marketing Strategies for Making Millions Online is his most recent. With a strong focus on modern web 2.0 marketing tactics, this book has a much broader appeal than just first-time web entrepreneurs (although Scott has a great way of explaining [...]
Your Gut Check Moment. A Book Review of Young Guns
I’ve definitely slowed up on reading business books, but Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur’s Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own by Robert Tuchman really caught my eye because it was geared towards young entrepreneurs. I breezed my way through it in about two nights, which is often the sign of [...]
Productive Napping
In my quest to become healthy, happy, and productive, I’ve become fascinated with sleep over the past few years. I always exercise regularly and for the most part I eat very healthy, but a good nights sleep eluded me for a long time. The problem started in high school where I routinely got less [...]
Entrepreneurial Book Review Bonanza
This Summer I’ve read five books that I have intended to review on this blog. Other than writing the review for bounce! I’ve managed to neglect the rest. Call it laziness…or better yet call it prioritizing, since book reviews do take some time and lately my time is better spent growing our business. Regardless of [...]
Book Review: bounce! – Failure, Resiliancy, and Confidence to Achieve Your Next Great Success
Back in 2006 when I reviewed Barry Moltz’s first book, You Need to Be a Little Crazy: The Truth About Starting and Growing Your Busines, I said the following: I often say how much I love unique blogs. Well, the same goes for books. Most entrepreneurial books paint pretty pictures of the fantasy land of [...]
